  1. Notes: HR hazard ratio, CI confidence interval
  2. aAdjusted for age (year of recruitment) using the Cox proportional hazard model
  3. bAdjusted for age (year of recruitment), history of chronic disease, smoking habits (never, former, 1-19 tobacco/day, and ≥20 tobacco/day), alcohol drinking, body mass index, and education level using the Cox proportional hazard model
  4. cAdded IADL as covariates in the Cox proportional hazard model
